      Mammuthus - "Zachary J" "Cooper"

      Mammuthus

      Look at the behemoth

              which I made along with you

              and which feeds on grass like an

                      ox.

              His bones are tubes of bronze,

              His limbs like rods of iron.

              He ranks first among the works of

      God,

Ian had not driven since that night, which had wreaked havoc with his work schedule. His employment was further stressed when the company’s insurance agent had discovered the wreck was entirely the result of his sleep at the wheel. Ian was what many wome n would consider a handsome man, tall with a gaunt face showing cheekbones inherited from a mixed racial ancestry, his face bearing a beard cut short matching the ebony blackness of his hair. But today his tall form was slumped, his beard unkempt, and his gaunt face turned to the floor, pulled down by the anchor of his own depression. Hearing his supervisor speak shook him out of his thoughts and his head ached as it returned to the room.

              As much as I hate to say this, his supervisor began, "I am afraid that I cannot let the events of the past month slide. You were an exemplary employee of this company Ian ,
